Dear friends,

I have converted the online edition of the PED (PTS
Pali English Dictionary) to a single PDF file (15MB,
2588 pages)...

In case the online version wont be available its quite
useful - besides if you work a lot with the CSCD and
find its build in dictionary limited it will be very
convenient to search for a word in that pdf file(and
you wont need to install any font...). You will find a
downloadable version on my internet site:

http://www.nibbanam.com/dict.htm

Secondly i would like to know if anyone has ever come
across an analysis (word statistics) of the pali canon
vocabulary and its usage. Such methods have been
successfully made use of to verify authorship of
medieval literature.
In the case of the Pali Canon it could show which
parts most probably belong to the same author and
which parts are influenced by others (later?) authors...
